My Poems: The Story of Your Life? [Completed]

A Simple Mistake

I've learnt barely anything in life

I know how to tell if something rhymes

And how to get the area of a circle

But, somehow, no-one's learnt how to hear my cries

I'm confused, I'll admit it now

I've made mistakes and haven't learnt

So many regrets and bad memories

No wonder my heart feels burnt

Actually, I don't think I have a heart left

I can't hear it beating, beating, beating

Cold as stone, frozen as ice

It just keeps bleeding, bleeding, bleeding

You wouldn't guess my thoughts if you knew me

I'm just that girl, the happy smiling one

As if she'd have depression, she's always laughing

But God knows what she'd do if she had a gun

Don't judge me please, because I don't look at you

No eye contact, no love, no trust

That's the way I've been as long as I remember

At least, ever since my life turned to dust

I've been needing to get this out for a while

I need someone, anyone, to hear me

My thoughts, my truth, 'cos no-one's listening

I'm slowly turning into a nobody

Telling people you have depression is a big step

So why did you look and laugh at me in the face

"No, she doesn't have depression," you say

That's because she has 2 sides, they just replace

If you're reading this, you know the truth

Not the lies of "I'm fine" or "I'm just tired"

Not the lies of "I'm just stressed at the moment"

Not the lies of the clever girl who people admired

I'm just a girl with big dreams and hopes

But her problems are even bigger from a simple mistake

She's had depression and felt friendless

Cried herself to sleep and had everything at stake

She's just a girl who doesn't know who she is

Just a girl who's in desperate need of a friend

But she just gets heartbreak and confusion

But, you should know, she's slowly on the mend.
